Student Code of Conduct

A safe and positive learning environment will be maintained on campus and in class. All state laws and school regulations regarding student rights and responsibilities are in effect during Summer School. We uphold a code of conduct that emphasizes the dignity of the individual promotes an environment respectful of people of diverse backgrounds and belief systems. We expect students enrolled in our Summer School Program to follow this code. Only in such an atmosphere can students thrive and achieve their full potential. We therefore ask Summer School students to respect their peers' personal rights and property. Name calling, theft, purposeful damage to others' belongings, bodily harm to a fellow student or Summer School staff member, and other instances of misconduct will not be tolerated. Each case will be handled on an individual basis by the Summer School principal. He will do so in a fair but swift manner. In the most serious cases, dismissal may be warranted. Whenever possible, parents will be notified of disciplinary problems and actions in a timely fashion. MBX thanks Summer School students in advance for following our Code of Conduct and respecting the rights of others. We look forward to an enjoyable and productive summer sessions for all.

Program Changes

You may request a course change by completing and filing a Course Change Form on or before noon on the third day of the semester. The instructor of the class you are dropping must sign the Course Change Form (if the class is already in process), as must the student's parent. Completed forms are to be returned to the Summer School Office. (Note: Change of Course Fee: $25.00 per session)

Policies

Only students entering grades 9 – 12 in the fall may take courses for academic credit.

The academic requirements and policies of the MBX Summer School Program are presented on this website. Please review them carefully. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING AND COMPLYING WITH THESE REGULATIONS.

ACCELERATED PROGRAM: One day of class is equivalent to a week of classes during the regular school year. Failure to attend class regularly jeopardizes your chances for academic success.

ABSENCES: You will be dropped from your courses if you are absent from class for more than one day per semester class (3 week session), or for more than two days for a year-long class (6 week session). There are no excused absences. All absences count toward the two days allowed if attending the full six week session or one day if attending the three week session. This is without exception.

***Instructors may not authorize exceptions to the Attendance Policy.

FINAL DAY: Students are required to attend the last day of class for each semester in which they are enrolled, regardless of prior attendance. Perfect attendance up to the last day of class does not allow for an absence the final day.

FINAL DAY SCHEDULE: The final may not be taken early and instructors may not authorize exceptions. Final Review: 8:00 am - 10:00 am. Final: 10:15 am - 1:30 pm

TARDIES: In addition to attending class regularly, you must be punctual. You will be considered tardy if you are not in your class assigned seat by the beginning of class and after the break of each day. Four tardies are the equivalent of one absence.

***If you exceed the maximum number of absences/tardies, you will automatically lose academic credit and will be dismissed from the Summer Program. Under any of these circumstances, tuition, and fees are forfeited.

ATTENDANCE POLICY-ATHLETIC

Athletics may be taken with or without credit. To obtain credit for the semester you must follow the same attendance rules outlined under the Academic Absence Policy above. If more than one day absence is anticipated, please inform the activity coach and no credit will be awarded.

CREDIT (ACADEMIC)

Each semester course is equivalent to 5 High School credits. Successful completion of yearlong courses earns 10 High School Credits. Athletic/activities are 5 High School credits.

HOMEWORK

Homework should be purposeful and related to the subject studied. It is intended primarily to give the student added practice in acquiring skills, insights, and understanding in a particular area of learning. Nightly homework requirements vary among classes and teachers. If a teacher does not provide a specific assignment, it is expected that students read, study or review for the class each night.

MAKE UP EXAMS

If you miss an exam or other required course work during the summer session because of absence, you may make up the exam or assignment within one day of returning to school. Arrangements to complete make-up work are your responsibility and must be made directly with your instructor. All work must be completed by the last day of classes (1:30 PM on 07/27/2017). There are no make-up days for final exams, nor may they be taken early. Instructors may not authorize exceptions to this rule. Any extenuating circumstances will be handled by the principal, no later than the last day of class.

GRADE REPORTS

Grades in courses taken at MBX are automatically placed on the Mira Costa transcripts for Mira Costa students. Any student who does not wish to have his/her grade on their Mira Costa High School transcript must ask their parent to request this by Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at 4:00 pm by emailing jnorris@mbusd.org.

Report cards will be sent to your home address approximately one week after completion of classes. If you are not a full time Mira Costa High School student, you must give your report card to your home school so that the credits can be added to your permanent record. Any discrepancies must be reported immediately to the Summer School Principal. The appeal or challenge deadline for disputed grades is forty five days after the closing of classes. No changes, adjustments or corrections will be made after that date.

PREREQUISITES

You may not enroll in a course for which you do not have the prerequisite or its equivalent. Prerequisites are listed in the course descriptions. Instructors may not waive prerequisites within a department sequence and accept students into the next level. Please note the differentiation between original credit courses and review courses. Review courses require that the course has already been taken during the regular school year. Original credit courses have a prerequisite noted if applicable. Since the Summer School does not have access to the student's grades, please ensure that the course prerequisite is met or consult your educational advisor.

Note: Certain Activities/Athletics courses have tryouts. These are listed in the various course descriptions if available.

REFUND POLICY

Full refunds of tuition and fees are granted if:

A course is cancelled by MBX

The course period is changed and the student cannot attend

Partial Refunds (60%) are granted if:The course, including a review course, is dropped by the student before the first day of class. This requires WRITTEN notification of the intent to drop/withdraw signed by the parent and received no later than noon on the first day of class.

No refunds of either tuition or fees will be issued after noon on the first day of class.

WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE

If you wish to withdraw from a class, you must secure a Withdrawal form from the Summer School office or download the Withdrawal form from the website, and obtain the appropriate signatures (student, instructor, parents). You must complete the form and return it to the Summer School office along with any textbooks issued to you.
